Is it nothing more than sour grapes with Don Cox? After being turned down in his attempt to get back on the Planning & Zoning Commission, Cox thought the best he could do would be to denigrate Council Member KC Carter & Planning & Zoning Chairperson Doug McKee.
Doug was recently offered a 6 month extension to his 4 year term on P & Z in order to help the community as there are 5 potential General Plan amendments upcoming, and two members of the commission will not continue their service. Doug thought his knowledge & expertise might be useful to the community. (Yes Doug! You are a valuable asset to Oro Valley!)
Doug's intention was to volunteer to continue on to better serve our town, whereas, he could have left P & Z and volunteered for another Board or Commission position. But Cox, who always seems to suggest he knows everything about everybody couldn't accept that. No! He'd rather come up with some ignorant reason why KC and the council (other than Loomis & Kunisch) voted to allow Doug to continue his service.
Below are Cox' comments from a recent posting alluding to the extension of Doug McKee's term as a volunteer on the P & Z commission, that he now chairs.
KC paid off his buddy for past favors. KC violated every standard for allowing qualified candidates to sit on P&Z. MARK my words....this will come back to haunt him!!!"
As far as we are concerned, Cox once again proves one thing. With him, it's all about HIM! Sour Grapes seem to be at the forefront of this most recent tirade.

AZ Court Of Appeals Rules For Residents, Against Developer
As reported in the June 5 Az Republic, the Az Court of Appeals has ruled Arizona cities and towns are free to reject developers' plans if they conflict with residents' values.
The appeals court affirmed Carefree's 2004 decision to deny a special-use permit to Valley developer GP Properties, which wanted to build a commercial boutique resort on 11 acres zoned residential. Residents opposed the resort, saying it was ill-suited for the area.
Another victory for the people!

"There is a Town policy that was enacted several years ago that set term limits for people serving on Boards and Commissions. This policy was part of a number of recommendations forwarded by a citizens committee. IT WAS THE CITIZENS THAT WANTED THE TERM LIMITS.
If this Council wishes to change the Town policy, then change the policy and go forward. Don't violate the policy just because it's your buddy.
All of a sudden, when it fits your agenda, you want the Council to violate Town policy and ignore the citizens wishes.
This was petty politics forwarded by a petty politician and the lemmings just following along in a row. Not good!!!
